This is the replication syntax for:

Manuscript: Immigrant Single Mothers in Germany: An Intersectional Perspective on a Group at Risk

Authors: Linda Maciejewski and Niklas Harder
Affiliations: Leipzig University and DeZIM e.V.


The replication code includes the following files:
Generate dataset-merge-recode.do
Analyses_M1-M2.do
Analyses_m3.do

The data preparation and analyses were performed using STATA/SE 15.1 for Windows (64-bit).

The "Generate dataset-merge-recode.do"-file contains the data preparation for the two datasets “AID:A (Growing up in Germany) 2019” and “AID:A Mig+” and the recoding of the variables. This file must be run first.

The "Analyses_M1-M2.do"-file contains all tables for the household and mother models included in the manuscript. It also includes the robustness checks relevant to the models. This file can be run after the "Generate dataset-merge-recode.do"-file.

The "Analyses_m3.do"-file includes the data preparation and recoding for the child model, as an imputed dataset is required for the SDQ scale (psychosocial difficulties). The analyses and robustness checks are also part of the file. This file can be run after the "Generate dataset-merge-recode.do"-file.


Data availability: 
The full “AID:A (Growing up in Germany) 2019” data and the full “AID:A Mig+” data
are available through the German Youth Institute (DJI) research data center.
